After waiting 3 long weeks my DOHC ZC has finally arrived from HMotors.



After day one of about 4 hours, I determined that I need a different clutch, I have a 20 spline 90-91 clutch, but I need a 21 spline.

Anyone here ever ordered from HMotors and had some crap in the spark plug wells? It wasn't oil, it was a water consistency and I have no idea how it would have gotten there with the plug wires there to cover the wells.

 

have fun.

 

when i ordered my ZC from Hmotors it was super clean. the water in the spark plugs could be from when they pressure wash it. give steve a call and hell try to make it right

edit: beat me to it

I have prdered from them many times, it was probly from when they wash the motors off, dont worry about it, just absorb with rag of high power vacume.

EDIT: Beat to it 2 times

 

That might explain it but it sure wasn't super clean, they may have gotten some of the heavier stuff off though.

 

Good luck with it...

They arnt in the detail business just the"lets make it look good" business.

 

so has everyone here had a positive experience with hmotors? I'm thinkin' I'm gonna do a ZC but not sure where to get it from...lemme know how yours turns out

 

If you're buying from HMotors make sure they have it in stock, I prepaid and it took a while for them to get it in.

 

i want to order a k series but the damn thing is sold out. I gat to do this swap over the winter!

 

When i bought my zc motor from Hmotors the oil pan was crazy dented and the MAP sensor was broke. called steve up fixed it no prob.

Hmotors

 

Do they replace the TPS?

If you don't mind the wait prepay for the K but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a waiting list on it. If not there's always EBay.

call and ask.

 

Yea.. my b16 had some water in the spark plug wells.. it was no big deal just used some compressed air to get it all out. Its been about 8,000 miles since i did the swap and no problems as of yet.. HMotors

 

steve

kickass guy and amazingly quick.

as for your zc...hurry up and get it in. there is no point to a swap if it sits on the garage floor.

 

****,i just fucked my b16 over bad and orderd a new one from steve also,there is a start up warenty and also that all sensors are in working condition.he will replace them.he is a gret guy to work with.when i didnt even get all the info from him he called me back personally and helped out some more.they seem like great people and are always willing to help out.

He is a good guy until you have to get parts from him or even an engine, he is not the greatest with customer service and shipping parts on time.

Do a search, this has been asked countless times.

If it was my garage floor getting it in wouldn't be a problem. It's gonna have to wait till after new years to get installed.

Also, is it the 88 and 89 clutches that have 21 splines or just the 88. I'm also guessing I'll need the same year flywheel.

 

its only the 88 with the 21 splines

 

how much did your zc from hmotors cost? cuz mine's shot all to hell it's overheating and all i can guess is that it's the head or head gasket cuz i put in an oem thermo and water pump i paid 350 bones for mine used off a guy i met at the dragstrip, used a 90 integra ecu on it and 3 days later it started that crap. so i just got pissed and bought an 86 rwd corolla which i just ordered a set of mikuni sidedraft carbs to do a 4ag twincam swap but i really want to get the crx running first.

 

h motors is a good place to get your motor and the liquid you are talking about is the engine cleaner i found some of that liquid in the motor too when i was cleaning/chaning the oil

 

so if i order one from hmotors how much am i lookin at payin???
